How do I give a custom nametag to the developers of a game?
This is the code that goes in a LocalScript inside of StarterCharacterScripts
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
a = Instance.new("BillboardGui", player.Character.Head)
a.Size = UDim2.new({0, 200},{0, 50})
a.LightInfluence = 0
a.MaxDistance = 50
a.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,1.4,0)
a.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
b = Instance.new("TextLabel", a)
b.BackgroundTransparency = 1
b.BorderSizePixel = 0
b.Font = "Legacy"
b.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255)
b.TextSize = 10
b.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
b.TextYAlignment = "Top"
b.Text = player.Name
b.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
end
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.UserId == 391034812 then
b.Text = "†shovah†"
b.Font = "Bodoni"
b.TextSize = 20
end
end
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.UserId == 76808471 then
b.Text = "†orua†"
end
end
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.UserId == 14731493 then
b.Text = "†ethan†"
end
end
When I use this, it gives the rank to random players, instead of the developers, how do I fix this?

You're better off doing this in a PlayerAdded event. This will allow us to check if a player is an admin without looping.
local admins = { -- table of admins. place user ids here
[game.CreatorId] = true,
[391034812] = true,
[76808471] = true,
[14731493] = true
}
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- wait for character to load
if admins[plr.UserId] then
local a = Instance.new("BillboardGui") -- use local variables
a.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50) -- you gave this table values
a.LightInfluence = 0
a.MaxDistance = 50
a.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,1.4,0)
a.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
a.Parent = char.Head -- assign parent last
local b = Instance.new("TextLabel")
b.BackgroundTransparency = 1
b.BorderSizePixel = 0
b.Font = Enum.Font.Legacy -- Use enums, makes things faster
b.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255) -- use RGB values
b.TextSize = 10
b.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
b.TextYAlignment = Enum.TextYAlignment.Top
b.Text = player.Name
b.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
b.Parent = a
end
end)
end)
On a side note, the parent argument to Instance.new is deprecated and should not be used in new work, it also lags more. Read more on that here
